[Fred Henderson]

A guy could do a lot worse.

[sweetwoodmaple]

I'm not, I only check it 10 times per day. :D

[VA maple guy]

No.... I'm not either, I never go to this web sight :wink:

[brookledge]

I'm going to have to set up a modem at my sugarhouse so I can be on line there. On second thought thats a bad idea I'll be typing while my pans are burning.

My wife gets sick of me being on here

[dads hobby]

So does mine :evil: but what's worse is that i also am a member on a Canadian forum group. Not quite as many members :( and no0t as much info and help but still growing. :)

[markcasper]

And one wonders why i am not ready...........

[WESTVIRGINIAMAPLER]

Guys,

I am glad I don't have that problem. I have been a member here for 3+ years and almost never post or visit the site. :D :wink:

[Sugarmaker]

Yep, I have a problem. There I said It! Man I feel Better now!

[Michigander]

I am green as grass with this Maple thing! If I did not stop at this site at least four times a day, I would feel like a high school freshman cutting class. This site is my "institution of higher learning". Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge!

Keith, I'm doing a webcam in the sugarhouse again this season ... yep it's a sickness... I wish I could figure out how to broadcast over my website.. for now I'll make it work through Yahoo Messenger for anyone needing a Steam fix for the Disease 8O

[John Burton]

kinda know how you guys all feel. a few seasons ago all this seemed like to much work...then one day a freind gets hurt and your helpin out.I keep saying that when my boat comes in I could upgrade this or that, my wife keeps telling me our boat has sunk.

[Daren]

This is the the ninth of the ten step program I think...I hope? The problem is I think my feet are stuck to the floor of the shack so It looks like I might not ever make the tenth...good thing I dribbled alittle with the bottling....saved me from a potential lethal mistake...moving on! :lol:

[Russell Lampron]

I think I can help you with that problem. Lemme look into it.

[Amber Gold]

Yes. I am a mapleholic and I never, never check this website while I'm working...

[peacemaker]

really really ?

[danno]

So, who on the site has the most posts? WV is over 4000, anybody beat that? Second question - who has the most posts recently?

By the looks of the November tapping thread that just ended, posts seem to be up. There were like 46 pages or something. I love to see this site so active, especially this time of year. In years past, site would stay kind of slow until all the "pre tapping" threads in Jan/Feb. Great site and a great bunch of guys. Anyone ever see a women post? I recall a women who had her own operation who used to post out of PA?

[Clan Delaney]

So, who on the site has the most posts? WV is over 4000, anybody beat that?

B-town's own Mapleman3 is second, with just over half as many posts as WV! I'm only 76th. Don't worry - I'm working on that. :)

[Clan Delaney]

See? Told ya.

[Clan Delaney]

Aaaaaand.... 75th. :D

[danno]

WV may just be the oldest active poster as well. I don't see too many who found this site in 2003. Sure wish I had, certainly would have helped me avoid many of my early mistakes:)

[Maple Hill Sugarhouse]

I'll second that.

Theron hearby gets the Maple Trader Sugarwater dude of the year award.

[peacemaker]

i think thats the funniest one and dad say its ok to put some buckets lol

[peacemaker]

swimming in it

[peacemaker]

better have a wet suit and scuba tank ... scuba tank reminds me some guy had his scuba gear with him when he attepted to hike the trail ...lol

[peacemaker]

lol 8 tons of gear is sent home from the approach trail every year things like cast iron frying pans and some guy tried a red wagon thought he was gonna pull it to maine lol

[Maple Hill Sugarhouse]

There is a lot of big headed people especially those starters who thinks the skys the limit on taps. 100 taps looks like 1,000 and there mind starts a racing gotta have this and gotta get that and gotta have this and oh no my mommy is watching and then your busted lie'n...

[Maple Hill Sugarhouse]

Lt. i know your not lie'n= I seen at least 25 taps anyways in 1 spot that would be good for cans anyways.

[peacemaker]

[peacemaker]

oh

[Maple Hill Sugarhouse]

No he got 3

[peacemaker]

ahh like me took 26 minutes of drive time to the sugar bush and back home 2 minutes to put up one can come home type and back to hang one can

[peacemaker]

good thing gas prices are down

[stevepipkin]

Most everybody I know talks trash about February. I just bite my tongue and say nothing. February is when we make maple in southern ohio. The mud, the snow, the trees, the woods, the boil in the sugar house, stacking wood, running the evaporator, pausing during bucket collection to muse on a cardinal standing out against a backdrop of snow, did I mention the fresh air?, the exercise, scrubbing the storage tank.... the list of reasons to love this process can go on for pages. I love February! I also love late January and Early March for the same reasons. Its an amusement park for big kids.

My wife can't complain. We schedule times on the computer - her with her knitting and crafting, and me with my sweet, sweet maple.

Hi my name is Dan O'Shaughnessy i am addicted to sugaring, yes im a mapleholic i started sugaring with my dad at ten years old and on my own at 12, i started with 1 bucket on the stove then 4 then 12 then 72 and now 600. my addiction has gotten worse and worse, its hurts me physically and emotionally every year it hurts my family for 2months out of the year (well not the mother because she doesnt have to put up w me as much in the house):). my friends tell me that drugs are expensive these days i wouldnt know, i tell them dude you aughta try sugaring, i have waisted so much money on this costly addiction, and through my social life away for 2months, but the with drawl from girls isnt as bad as the one from sugaring, its been 8months and 2 days since i last boiled and the with drawl is taking its toll, i some times shake uncontrollably just thinking about boiling, ive been told it gets worse and you spend even more, with the more trees you tap and i want 15,000 its so bad im on this site in the middle of class right now at school i have another tab open, when my techer is not looking i type
I DONT NEED HELp
